10.01.2022 Arnold Schonberg : Apart from being one of the 20th-centurys most influential composer, Arnold Schonberg was also a talented painter. Many of his works are kept at the Arnold Schonberg Centre in Vienna, alongside an exhaustive collection of manuscripts, diaries, and photographs. One of his early paintings, a self portrait from 1910, is depicted here. The St George Chamber Orchestra will perform one of Schonbergs early musical works, Transfigured Night, a stunning piece originally for string sextet, drawing on the legacy of late 19th century German chromaticism combined with the composers own experimentalism.
